Tim’s Top 10 Tips for Marketing on a Budget
In September, I was invited to be on a panel for a PM Forum event in London where we shared some ideas on marketing on a budget. It was geared to professional services: lawyers, accountants, architects but most of the ideas can be applied across industries and sectors.
